Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a public-key cryptographic scheme and cryptographic communications using public-key cryptography.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
[0002] Various types of public-key cryptographic schemes have been proposed to date. Of these schemes, the most famous and most practical public-key cryptographic scheme is described in:
[0003] a document 1: "R. L. Rivest, A. Shamir, L. Adleman: A method for obtaining digital signatures and public-key cryptosystems, Commun. of the ACM, Vol. 21, No. 2, pp. 120-126, 1978".
[0004] Efficient public-key cryptographic schemes using elliptic curves are known as described in:
[0005] a document 2: "V. S. Miller: Use of Elliptic Curves in Cryptography, Proc. of Crypto'85, LNCS218, Sprinter-Verlag, pp. 417-426 (1985);
[0006] a document 3: "N. Koblitz: Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems, Math. Comp., 48, 177, pp. 203-209 (1987)"; and the like.
[0007] Known cryptographic schemes capable of verifying security against chosen plaintext attacks i...
